Toronto’s Pup have a new record that came out at the end of May…it is on my to-do list of records to get to. They come out so fast an furiously now it’s hard to listen to all the hyped stuff, let alone everything else. I’m still digesting Carseat Headrest and Modern Baseball oh and Band of Horses! Sheesh…then the sea of emails from up-and-coming bands asking for attention.
I like Pup…their 2013 s/t album lived in my purple mini-van for a summer. They remind me of FIDLAR in all the best ways. (especially the song DVP)
They’re back Vancouver for a show at the Cobalt on November 21st, then the next night in Victoria at Lucky Bar.

Vancouver’s White Lung are getting all the hype for their fourth album Paradise (out now on Domino Records). The album has already hit the lists of of “best of 2016 (so far)” for all the major music blogs. They have been nominated for the Polaris Prize and they’ll be around Vancouver this weekend for the Levitation Festival.
They were in New York City recently and stopped by the studio for Sirius XMU. There they did a cover of the Guns N’ Roses song “Used to Love Her.”
Happy Friday!
My wife ordered some furniture from a woodworker in Valemount called Rustic Mountain Tables…and they delivered a bench and coffee table yesterday. We love them so much.
Go with yourself.
